[Veritas-ha] IP Issue with VCS

[Scott, Martin]

Chris,

What are your "requires" for the IP address?  You may have a timing issue
here.  The NIC should always be online, but depending on what you are doing
the online of the IP address resource may be happening before everything is
ready for it.  If you are not already doing it, add a "IP requires NIC"
statement.  I am suggesting the first thing that comes to mind without
knowing your main.cf configuration.  

I had a problem with Netscape Servers that did not have a requires on the
dedicated IP address for that Server - the Server simply did not start -
with no logging messages or errors when it just happened that the Server
came up before the IP address was plumbed and onlined.

Hope this helps,

		Hey Everyone,
		I'm looking for a little help here with Cluster Server.  I
have two Sun
		UE4500s set up to be a cluster.  I set up the cluster (with
the
		certification software) to have 2 shared disks on each
server, 2 mount
		points on each server, 2 share directories on each server, a
nic card, nfs,
		and an ip address for each server.  The systems both come up
fine.  I then
		offline a group and bring up online to the other server.
Everything works
		fine.  I then offline that same group and try to bring it
back online to the
		original server.  Here's where the issue shows up.  The
entire group starts
		up except for the IP address.  I can't figure out why this
is.  The takeover
		server tookover the IP address when it owned the group, then
it released it
		when it lost the group.  The problem is, the original server
won't take it's
		IP address back.  When I do an ifconfig -a, I get the inet
address as
		0.0.0.0.  Has anyone ever seen this before?  Is there any
sort of way to
		correct this problem?

		Thanks,
